Two men in saffron-orange robes stand at left and centre; the centre man wears a red head cloth, a beaded mala and gold bangles, and holds a metal vessel toward a group of devotees. The man at left wears saffron cloth with a red border and gold chain. A boy in an olive shirt reaches toward the vessel, and two women with long braids, one in a grey knit top and one in a blue paisley sari, face the priests. At right a woman in a red sari holds a small silver bowl. Brass lamps, a brass bird ornament and a pedestal with offerings stand nearby.
